A dog sanctuary on the Flathead Indian Reservation is healing animals and fighting stereotypes. This story was made by Arlee High School students during a workshop with the Montana Media Lab at the University of Montana School of Journalism. Along with the author, Joseph Romas, students Leah Mesteth, Nizho'ni' Haynes, Dallas Swab, Ben Harlow, Joaquin Santos, Adalyn Jacobson, and Jace Arca worked on the story also. Thank you Arlee High School educator, Jennifer Jilot for leading our students in this workshop and helping guide our kids. https://www.mtpr.org/montana-news/2024-12-06/a-dog-sanctuary-on-the-flathead-indian-reservation-is-healing-animals-and-fighting-stereotypes

Hello parents/guardians of students going on this year's close-up trip to Washington DC. The close-up trip will be Sunday, April 13th - Friday, April 18th this year. The final payment for this year's close-up trip will be on Saturday, February 15th. I have secured a $100 donation per student from Blackfoot Communications. The JOM committee is meeting soon to determine whether there are any funds available for this year's students to go on the trip. We are planning several fundraisers coming up including BINGO night and a BBQ/I-Pad raffle that will take place during the new year. Stay tuned. Finally, I have attached the spreadsheet below where students and parents/guardians can sign up for shifts at the concessions stand. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10OJgCwSR726vtPrqbTVMuZY-Dhm4tQ5-TFcdI12yfEE/edit?usp=sharing
